Freight Mobility

The Seattle Freight Mobility Advisory Committee is an industry-based advisory board that provides input on freight issues to the City of Seattle, the Port of Seattle, and the Washington State Department of Transportation. The committee meets once a month and occasionally sponsors forums on special topics. The committee is sponsored by the City of Seattle, the Manufacturing Industrial Council and the Duwamish TMA.
